Map of the Enns Cycling Tour

Day 1: Individual arrival in Radstadt

The starting point of your trip is the old town in the mountains in Salzburg's Pongau region, which is very attractive in both summer and winter. The remains of the historic city wall with its three fortification towers are beautiful, while the Millennium Trail, which takes you through Austria's history in 1000 steps, is interesting. Booked rental bikes are available at the hotel.

Day 2: Radstadt – Gröbming, approx. 45 km

The Enns river takes you into the province of Styria at Mandling. The Dachstein and Tauern mountains accompany your tour. The old mining town of Schladming is now a popular winter sports resort and presents itself with 17th century houses after its destruction during the Peasants' War.

Day 3: Gröbming – Admont, approx. 55 km

Leaving Trautenfels Castle behind you, you head towards Admont, the spiritual center of the region. You cycle along the Enns river via Reithal, Lake Zwirtner See and Ardning to your destination for today's stage, Admont. The oldest Benedictine monastery in Styria greets visitors from afar – visit the world's largest church library here.

Day 4: Admont – St. Gallen (Styria), approx. 55 km

An impressive natural spectacle awaits you today: the Gesäuse, one of the mightiest rocky gorges in Europe, rugged and impressive. This is also the centerpiece of Austria's youngest national park and, with its 20 km length, is undoubtedly one of Austria's greatest natural beauties. You then cycle to St. Gallen (Styria) via Weng and Buchauer Sattel.

Day 5: St. Gallen (Styria) – Großraming, approx. 45 km + transfer

With Gallenstein Castle in view, the Enns cycling tour takes you towards Upper Austria today. You will get to know the impressive forest mountains of the Kalkalpen National Park along the way. Leave your bike for a short walk and discover the diverse flora and fauna. Take advantage of the included shuttle bus from St. Gallen (Styria), which takes you to Mooshöhe, several hundred meters above sea level. You will reach your destination for the day in Großraming.

Day 6: Großraming – Steyr, approx. 40 km

Today you cycle through Kalkalpen National Park. On small, slightly hilly roads, you make your way through the enchanting Enns Valley to Losenstein, whose castle dominates the townscape on a steeply rising rock. One of the most beautiful town squares in Europe awaits you in the romantic town of Steyr, where Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo styles blend harmoniously together. Discover the town, which is over 1000 years old and which even Austrian composer Franz Schubert found beautiful beyond words.

Day 7: Steyr – Linz, approx. 50 km

Today it is worth making a stop in Enns, the oldest town in Austria. From the striking town tower, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view from the Mühlviertel to the foothills of the Alps in good weather. After a short cycle route, you are greeted by the Danube. The Danube Cycle Route takes you to Linz, the European Capital of Culture 2009.

Day 8: Individual departure

After breakfast, your Enns cycling tour comes to an end. We are also happy to extend your vacation in Linz.
